It's Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven: What You Need to Know
7-Eleven expects to hand out 9 million free Slurpees, but they are only available at certain times. Plus how to score a second free one.

Thursday is July 11.
Why should you care? Well, July 11 is the annual "7-Eleven Day" and customers of the national convenience store can pick up a free small Slurpee from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all stores while supplies last.
U.S. stores will give away an estimated 9 million free Slurpees on Thursday, 7-Eleven says. If you join the store's 7REWARDS program and use the app to scan your free Slurpee, a coupon (good for 30 days) for another free Slurpee of any size will show up in the app on Friday.
